New YALSA President Linda Braun has announced that the new theme for the coming year will be "Risky Business". Linda states, "YALSA knows librarians take risks every day of the year when they purchase materials that might be controversial, when they have conversations with teens which might lead to topics that are sometimes difficult to discuss, when they advocate for the programs and services teens need.". The focus will be on collecting stories and helping YA librarians have successful interactions on sensitive topics with their young patrons.
